Find the amplitude and period of each periodic function. See Lesson 13-1.

  1. One cycle of the graph goes from x = negative 6 to x = 6, with its highest peaks near 4.5 and its lowest valley near negative 4.5. All values estimated.
  2. One cycle of the graph falls from open circle (negative 2.5, negative 1) to (negative 1.75, negative 2), rises to (0.74, 2), and falls to closed circle (1.5, 1). All values estimated.

A set of data with a mean of 39 and a standard deviation of 6.2 is normally distributed. Find each value, given its distance from the mean. See Lesson 11-9.
